Oliver Stone's World Trade Center Reviewed
As has pretty consistently been reported, this is shaping up to be a pretty good flick. There is zero indication in the review that there's going to be anything for the CT crowd (although they will probably mutter at any explosions).
Because of its scope, "World Trade Center" is grander than "United 93" and perhaps has some loftier cinematic aspirations. And as much as it's all about the real men and women whose acts of courage nearly got them killed that day, "World Trade Center" is nonetheless an Oliver Stone film through and through.
What Stone has done is base his movie on the stories of two Port Authority policemen who went into Tower 2 of the World Trade Center too late and with little information. The building collapsed on them, burying them and their colleagues.
Only 20 people were pulled from the rubble alive. John McLoughlin and Will Jimeno — played respectively by Nicolas Cage and Michael Pena — were numbers 18 and 19.
World Trade Center debuts in about four weeks.

Like, hey man, I mean, somebody help me out here, I can't remember, I mean, a FICTIONAL film is where you make stuff up, and tell a story, and like a non -fictional film, is like a documentary where you present facts, to tell the story, right?
So, like Loose Change is like a fictional film, except were it isn't?
JFK might be easily debunked by the forensics, but purely in terms of its feasibility as a conspiracy in general, it's downright concrete when compared to 9/11: the number of people required to be knowing and complicit is finite, and provably much smaller (as small, even, as 2 or 3). Stone is probably smart enough to see this clearly and not fall into the pit of Looserdom.
Well in Stone's film he had a helluva lot of people involved in the conspiracy.
